Evolution game, nothing more than that!

"Okay, I'll get out, I'll get out..."

The middle-aged woman didn't dare to say anything else and was about to leave in shame.

However, just as she stepped out of the room, Yi Shen's voice came from behind her:

"Hey, wait!"

The middle-aged woman trembled all over, turned back cautiously, and asked:

"Please, what else can I do for you?"

"Take these two pieces of garbage with you!"

Yi Shen grabbed the two strong men who had lost their fighting ability on the ground, picked them up one in each hand like garbage bags, and threw them into the corridor outside.

Bang! Boom!

The two 180-pound strong men fell to the floor of the corridor with a dull thud. The middle-aged woman couldn't help but tremble twice, and immediately nodded repeatedly:

"understand!"

As he said this, he bent down and grabbed the two strong men who were either unconscious or in shock, and dragged them towards the stairs with great effort.

Only after the three figures disappeared at the stairs did Yi Shen turn around and look at Yamasaki An, whose clothes were disheveled.

I have to say, this scene gives off a sense of déjà vu as if the two were meeting for the first time.

However, compared to the shock and fear she felt the last time she was rescued, this time, Yamasaki An flew directly into Yi Shen's arms and burst into tears.

"Wow~! Why won't she let me go?! Why is that woman my mother?! Why why~!"

While crying, she also talked about her past experiences, pouring out the grief and pain in her heart.

The matter was actually not complicated. Her father died early, and her mother believed in a cult. Not only did she squander all the family property, but she also set her sights on her and tried to hand her over to some cult leader to play with her.

Yamasaki An refused to give in and ran away from home. Since then, she has been living alone doing odd jobs to barely make ends meet.

However, not long after she settled down here, her mother came with people and even used violence, trying to abduct her by force.

If Yi Shen hadn't happened to visit her at this time, her fate would probably not have been very good.

Listening to the girl's story, the man could only pat her back and coax her in a low voice:

"Alright, alright, it's alright, it's alright..."

After a long time, Yamasaki An finally calmed down.

She was still sobbing softly, looking at Yi Shen's clothes on his chest that were wet with her tears, and immediately stood up and stepped back embarrassedly.

"Sorry, suck~, I let you see my useless side, suck~"

The girl quickly picked up the fallen tissue from the ground, wiped her tears and apologized in a low voice.

"It's okay. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be sad."

Yi Shen shook his head and didn't care about such a small matter as his clothes getting dirty.

He looked around the messy house and said:

"Let's clean up the room first. They made a mess of it."

"what!"

Yamasaki An's face suddenly turned red, and she felt even more embarrassed.

She had spent a lot of effort tidying up the room just to make a good impression on Yi Shen, but it was all in vain!

Blame it on those guys!

With such indignation, she began to tidy up the room with Yi Shen.

Fortunately, there wasn't much mess and it was tidied up in a few minutes.

"Well, Mr. Smith, thank you very much for saving me again!"

Kneeling on the tatami, Yamasaki An bowed deeply to Yi Shen.

Yi Shen, who was also kneeling opposite him, quickly helped him up and said:

"Alright, alright, thank you if you want. There's no need for such a grand ceremony. Also, my name is Yi Shen. There's no need to call me Smith in the real world. You know, it's just a temporary pseudonym."

"Yi Shen... sounds like a foreign name."

Yamasaki An blinked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, that's right. I'm actually an immigrant from the mainland across the sea. Although I'm third generation, I didn't take a Japanese name."

Yi Shen explained briefly.

"Is that so... Then, can I call you Yi Jun?"

Yamasaki Anzu asked.

"Sure, whatever you like."

Yi Shen was fine with this.

"Yes, Yi Jun."

The girl repeated the name in a low voice with a reassuring smile.

Mr. Smith, no, it was Mr. Yi, who told me his name. Does that mean that he has recognized me and trusts me?

After what just happened, she felt that she had no one she could trust in this world, except Yi Shen who had saved her twice.

She therefore secretly made a decision in her heart that she would never betray him, and no matter what he asked her to do, she would do her best to complete it!

Yi Shen didn't know that the girl in front of him had already completely completed her self-strategy. If converted into a galgame, her favorability would probably be 100%, and she could unlock exclusive CGs at any time.

It’s a pity that reality cannot be digitized, and Yi Shen never thought of doing anything X-rated in a room with a broken door that couldn’t be closed.

He just felt a little pity. How could such a good girl have to be associated with a mother who believed in a cult and wanted to give her daughter away for other people to play with?

Chapter 29: Rooting out the Weeds is a Must-Have Qualities for the Protagonist of Chinese Online Stories

After a brief conversation, Yi Shen talked to Yamasaki An about what had just happened.

"...You shouldn't let your guard down just because you're back in reality."

He said with a slightly scolding tone:

"Why don't you wear the enhanced suit? If you were wearing it, you could easily deal with those people without me."

"But... the enhanced suit is so conspicuous!"

Yamasaki An said with some grievance.

Although the enhanced suit, which is like a tights, has powerful functions, it has one disadvantage: it is too conspicuous and embarrassing!

It was fine during the evolution game. At that time, all she was thinking about was how to survive this trial with Yi Shen, so she just wore the clothes.

But once she returned to reality, she really couldn't wear this outfit and walk around in public!

If it were winter now, she could still cover it up with some loose clothes like coats, but unfortunately, it was midsummer now and everyone was wearing light short clothes. She was wearing a black leather jacket and couldn't go out at all!

"...What about the weapon? If you had a gun at hand, the situation wouldn't have been so bad!"

Yi Shen continued to persist.

"The gun... I hid it in the closet."

Yamasaki An spoke hesitantly.

As a good girl who abides by the law, she would not dare to leave contraband such as guns outside openly.

In fact, as soon as she came back from the Evolution Game, she immediately stuffed all the weapons and ammunition she had on her into the innermost part of the closet to prevent them from being discovered.

After all, the house she lives in now is rented. Besides herself, the landlord also has the key and comes to check the use of furniture and appliances from time to time. It is not a very private place.

"Then you should at least have a gun hidden on you, right? Like in those spy movies, hiding a small pistol on your thigh? Is that too hard?"

"…I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."

Yamasaki An honestly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"...Never mind, just remember this lesson."

Yi Shen shook his head and did not continue to blame the other party.

There's no way around it. After all, Yamasaki An is a girl who grew up in a peaceful environment and has just graduated from high school. It's normal for her to make mistakes.

After a moment of silence, Yi Shen suddenly spoke:

"However, it can't be said that the matter is over."

"Eh?"

Yamasaki An raised her head.

"You mean, call the police? Or...?"

"Of course not to the police!"

Yi Shen shook his head.

In fact, theoretically the best way to deal with what happened today is to call the police.

But neither Yamasaki An nor Yi Shen did so.

On Yamasaki An's side, that woman was her mother after all, and severing ties with her was the limit of what she could do. She really couldn't call the police and send her to jail.

Yi Shen, on the other hand, thought more deeply.

Firstly, he and Yamasaki An are both gamers, and they have a lot of "contraband" brought back from the evolution game, that is, those guns and ammunition. If they attract the police and are discovered, they will be in trouble.

Secondly, even if they did call the police, given what that woman and those two thugs had done, they would at best spend a few days in jail. With the power of the cult behind them, they might not even have to spend a single day in jail. On the other hand, Yi Shen and Yamasaki An might face legal action for crimes like intentional injury.

Don't say it's impossible. In Japan, collusion between cults and the government has been going on for a long time. Some local councilors are even pawns pushed forward by local cults, who are able to control both the black and white sides of the local society and have absolute power.

So, instead of relying on the useless Japanese police, Yi Shen felt that he had to rely on himself.

"...So, what are you planning to do, Yi Jun?"

Yamasaki An watched Yi Shen take out weapon after weapon from his backpack, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

It’s not that she was surprised that this backpack could hold so many things - she had already learned from Yi Shen that this was an expansion backpack rewarded by the evolution game, some kind of space equipment.

What surprised her was that Yi Shen planned to use a gun in the real world.

"You know the saying, 'If you don't kill the snake, you'll end up hurting it.' Those cultists already know where you live. Even if we drive them away this time, they'll come back sooner or later, and even harass you in new ways. And you're not like me, most of my strength lies in my equipment. If you're caught in an opening like today, you'll be in danger. So, it's better to strike first!"

Yi Shen said as he loaded the magazine into the pistol with a click.

"...But, killing someone in the real world isn't a good idea...and what if the police find out?"

Yamasaki An said this with great concern.

It wasn't that she doubted Yi Shen's ability to "strike first and gain the upper hand." Having witnessed him slaughtering countless enemies in the evolution game, she had no doubt about it.

But on the one hand, she was somewhat averse to killing people. On the other hand, she was also worried that Yi Shen would make the matter too big. If it attracted the attention of the police and caused a conflict with the authorities, things would be troublesome!

Seeing this, Yi Shen put down the gun in his hand and put one hand on the girl's shoulder:

"Xing, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"what!"

Yamasaki An was startled by Yi Shen suddenly calling her name, but she immediately reacted and nodded:

"No, no problem!"

Then she heard Yi Shen say:

"Xing, think about it. Those guys, this isn't the first time they've done something like this. How many innocent girls have they harmed before you? And if we don't deal with them, how many more people will they harm in the future? Killing them isn't a sinful act, it's justice, it's the way of justice!"

Every word Yi Shen said came from the heart.

If there is something in this world that he hates deeply, it is eccentricity, and the second is cults. In the past, he had no power and could not change the whole world, so naturally he could only keep himself out of trouble and avoid getting involved in these things.

But after going through the evolution game, he thought that he was no longer the powerless ordinary person in the past. As the saying goes, "If you are successful, you should help the world." Although he has not yet "achieved" the level of being able to "help the world," he feels that he is still capable of destroying a cult under his nose.

"Is this, is this, true?"

Yamasaki An was a little confused.

At first glance, what Yi Shen said does make sense. If you think about it carefully, it makes even more sense!
